Hi, I want to use a LaTeX Package (clrscode), or at least I want to port it to Context. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/clrscode/ Is there some way to use LaTex Packages (I guess not). Is there documentation about writing ConTeXt modules? (I didn't find any). -- Holger

I always look into TEXMFMAIN/tex/context/base and try to figure how to make what I want; on pragma site there are some docs about to make pdf for documentation. luigi

so you need to rewrite it

- try to use high level constructs (or ask me to provide them -) - only use low level macroe documented in syst-*.tex and supp-*.tex (the ones mentioned in \macros, not the \dododo things) - think fresh, forget about how other packages do it, think about what *you* want / need - user modules are prefixed with t- (m- x- p- and s- are reserved for core modules and styles) Now, about your code beautifier. Since you end up with additional markup anyway, why not go XML. You can then embed that in you tex document as usual (and have the full power of context available) but also use the code in webpages.

If there is interest in such a module, i can write the auxiliary macros needed for it and others can define the languages.

Hello Holger,
I want to use a LaTeX Package (clrscode), or at least I want to port it to Context.
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/clrscode/
Is there some way to use LaTex Packages (I guess not).
No. The low level commands are different in LaTeX and ConTeXt. The named package does not use a lot of unique LaTeX features, so a port shouldn't be too difficult. But as I guess from your question, you are unable to do that, so the question is: who else does the job? And I guess, nobody rises his hand now.
Is there documentation about writing ConTeXt modules? (I didn't find any).
There is an API documentation project.... Taco has written a paper on some commands, but there is much more to do. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

See HH answer about a similar request. I think this solution could be the start of your package. Hans had extended the startlines environment with an option which keep spaces, so that it's easier to write algorithms without having some \it begining every lines ! http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2004/008169.html
